benedict leaves behind a church marred by sexual abuse. his own legacy tainted by questions surrounding his role in the cover-up of that abuse. a new hbo documentary tells the story of one of the most notorious sexual abuse cases in the catholic church. according to the court and church documents, father lawrence murphy, a headmaster at a school for the deaf in wisconsin raped and molested as many as 200 deaf boys throughout the '50s, '60s and '70s. decades later one of murphy's victims, terry kohut filed a lawsuit against the vatican naming pope benedict, previously northern as cardinal ratzinger as a defendant. as cardinal ratzinger served as the head of the powerful congregation for the doctrine of the faith, an office known in earlier years as the inquisition. church records indicate ratzinger was aware of father murphy's abuse, yet murphy remained a priest until his death in 1998. of course, murphy was just the tip of the iceberg. in fact, as the documentary reports, from 2001 on, every single priest sexual abuse case came directly to

when pope benedict xvi announced today that he would resign as pope, that he would abdicate the papacy, the move was greeted, frankly, with shock that something that has not happened in 600 years is happening right now. but it was also clear immediately that even though nothing like this has happened in 600 years, or 598 years to be exact, the catholic church nevertheless had a plan ready to go. even though no pope has resigned his seat since the year 1415, and this resignation announcement today from pope benedict was totally unexpected, despite all of that, there is apparently an agreed upon protocol for what happens in an instance like this. once pope benedict leaves the vatican on february 28th, the church says he will go live for a while in castel gandolfo, which is the pope's summer house in a small town outside of rome. he will live at that castle while construction work is done on a cloistered monastery inside the vatican complex. then when the construction is done, he will move back into the vatican. and living in that cloistered monastery, provided that papal cloistering is l
